Pros

The best reason to work for the organization is that you will are an instrumental part of the cure for cancer.

Cons

I can only speak for the Northern & Central Florida chapter. There was no clear management or training for any of its employees. The executive director had her own agenda and rarely did the job description meet the daily expectations. My advice to anybody who works for the organization is to make sure you get everything in writing and make sure you communicate often with the national offices to ensure that the job you were hired to do is actually the job you are doing.

Pros

Flexible hours (but with the implementation of meeting metrics, poor schedule). Great time off and benefits.

Cons

The mission is inspiring, but employee well-being often feels secondary to organizational demands. Chronic understaffing, high turnover, and frequent organizational changes create an environment where employees are expected to take on responsibilities far beyond their job descriptions. Workloads can become unsustainable, particularly during campaign seasons, leading to burnout and low morale. Goals and budget expectations are often aggressive and may not reflect local market realities or available resources. Employees are held accountable for outcomes that can be heavily influenced by factors outside of their control, while support and staffing do not always keep pace with expectations. Communication and transparency from leadership could be improved. Decisions affecting employees are sometimes made without meaningful input from those doing the day-to-day work, and organizational restructuring can create uncertainty and instability. Many talented and passionate employees leave because they feel overworked, undervalued, and unsupported despite their dedication to the mission. While working at a regional office, there was strong lack of trust towards the national office from all of the employees.
